Your English Coach: Jerry Martin

I come from a small town in northern California.

I was born and raised on a farm but my favorite animal is a polar bear. 

My major in university was Japanese Language and Literature.

After graduating from university I came to Japan in 2005 to start my English teaching career.

I have over 10years experience teaching Mommy & Me, kindergarten, phonics, elementary, junior/high school and adult classes.

I have loved picture books ever since I can remember. Currently I have released 4 books in the "Learning with Leon" series.

I also have a literacy certificate from the non-profit org "Ehon de Kosodate" center here in Japan. Currently I have been doing my "Bilingual Book Time" all over Japan.
